In the evening, I continued eating and drinking at home.
There were no outsiders at the family dinner that evening.
Wu An, Gu Anran and the old lady, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the Mei family, the old man, Lao Meng, and A Qing and Li Juan.
We were originally going to have a whole table full of food.
As they kept shouting, there weren't enough seats at one table, so they split it into two groups: one for men and one for children and women.
The food and drinks were all ready.
Two tables were reserved for lunch.
Wu An organized this family dinner. He led the group through the drinks, and he accepted every drink offered to him.
Mei Yueqin said a few words.
Wu An nodded when he should, and continued drinking as usual; it didn't matter if he drank too much at home.
He doesn't act crazy or cause trouble when he's drunk; he just falls asleep as soon as he's drunk.
Gu Anran didn't stop him, but instead kept pouring him warm water while he drank.
Drinking more water can help eliminate alcohol faster.
There were quite a few people in the family, but Mei Xiaoxiao was the only child. He was young but very talkative.
They'll get things done.
Carrying a bottle of orange juice, she ran to the men's table, sat down, and was about to drink with Wu An.
Wu An was drinking alcohol, along with orange juice with pulp.
Since we're already here...
After walking around for a while, Mei Xiaoxiao left having drunk most of a bottle of orange juice with pulp, and was so full that she kept burping.
The precocious little guy claimed he was drunk.
Whether he drank it or not, we don’t know; in any case, Wu An and the others drank quite a lot.
...
The next morning.
Wu An woke up from his hangover, picked up the water glass next to him, drank it all in one gulp, listened to the wind outside, and leaned against the headboard to come back to his senses.
The door creaked open, and someone pushed it open and came in.
Wu An turned his head and saw that it was Gu Anran.
Wu An was stunned: "What are you doing here?"
Gu Anran asked, "How are you feeling?"
Wu An felt pretty good. Although he had a hangover, he didn't feel too uncomfortable after waking up. He thought to himself that good wine is different; it doesn't make him feel bad.
Looking at Gu Anran's concerned expression, he frowned and said, "I feel unwell."
Gu Anran walked over and helped him up, saying, "Lie down first."
I'll make you a cup of honey water.
"Drink it and then sleep a bit more."
Wu An pulled Gu Anran to sit down, then tilted his head and rested it on Gu Anran's lap, saying, "This is comfortable."
Gu Anran rolled her eyes at him and said, "This is at home."
Wu An asked, "You didn't leave yesterday?"
Gu Anran said, "You're holding me back, not letting me leave, and this child is saying the same thing: he's scared to sleep alone."
"I have no choice but to stay by your side."
"The typhoon hit this morning, and I can't leave even if I want to."
Wu An looked up: "Then hurry up and rest."
Gu Anran pressed his head down and said, "No need."
"My sister-in-law has already made breakfast. I'll eat breakfast and then go back to sleep."
...
Main room.
Wu Ping was going to call Wu An.
Mei Yueqin stopped her, saying, "Where are you going? Let the young couple stay a little longer."
Wu Ping: "This..."
As they were talking, Gu Anran and Wu An came out.
I've had breakfast.
Gu Anran went to sleep.
Wu An originally planned to go back to sleep, but Mei Yueqin ordered him to reinforce the house.
The wind and rain were strong, and the yard was flooded.
I've been busy for half a day.
I didn't even have a proper lunch.
The typhoon didn't pass until evening.
The next morning.
It was a peaceful scene. After having breakfast, Wu An arrived at the dock, where fishing boats were already setting sail.
Ah Qing followed up and asked, "Brother, are you sure we're not going to go to sea?"
Wu An nodded: "The festival is tomorrow."
"We'll go out to sea after the holiday."
Aqing scratched her head: "Then let's just rest?"
Looking at the large group of people going to the beach, Wu An thought about how he had been fishing at sea day and night for a long time and hadn't gone to the beach in a long time. Suddenly, he got the urge: "Let's go to the beach!"
"Good things are sure to come after a typhoon."
Only after receiving this message did he remember to check the system.
I've been quite busy these past few days, and haven't been going out to sea. I only check the system when I remember to.
Recently, the system hasn't been giving me much luck points; they've been around 200.
Open the system.
Luck value: 900 (330)
Wu An was taken aback.
How come my luck value cap increased so much after just one night's sleep!
The system is inanimate.
There was not a single explanation.
Juan could only guess that it was because the white-lipped clam and ambergris were painstakingly collected from the sea.
After he made money, the system recognized his efforts and then significantly increased his luck value cap.
Wu An was too lazy to think about it further.
The increase in the luck value cap is a pleasant surprise.
Wu An told A Qing to go home and call Aunt Juan over.
Aqing said, "My mom went to the beach a long time ago, and she didn't bring her phone, so we can't contact her at all."
Wu An said, "Alright."
"Then come with me."
Back home.
My sister-in-law wasn't home; she went to the beach to go clamming too.
My dad went to the village committee before dawn to help out. Although the typhoon didn't make direct landfall, it still affected the village to some extent, but thankfully there were no casualties.
Only my eldest brother was at home.
Seeing Wu Ping reading a book, Wu An called out, "Brother, what are you reading? Let's go beachcombing!"
Wu Ping put down his book: "Should I go too?"
Wu An: "You don't want to?"
Wu An shook his head: "I'm willing, but I don't know how to go beachcombing."
After saying that, he smiled sheepishly. People from the seaside don't know how to go beachcombing, and he's been the subject of a lot of gossip in the village.
Wu An was taken aback.
My sister-in-law has indeed protected my brother too well.
Actually, it's not just the eldest brother.
He is too.
Lazy with their hands and feet, and unable to distinguish between the five grains.
My sister-in-law used to be the one who held this family together.
Even though he's earning more money now and his family's life is better, his sister-in-law is still as busy as ever.
Holding their beachcombing gear.
After greeting Lao Meng, we headed west, passing by the old house where the construction team had already started working.
Wu An didn't close it.
All-inclusive.
If the money is right, you don't have to worry about anything.
The construction company specially assigned a supervisor to guard the construction site. When he saw Wu An coming over, he quickly came over to greet him.
Wu An chatted with him.
They're not from the local area; they came from out of town to work.
Wu An told him that if he encountered any trouble in the village, he should let him know anytime.
After a short pause, Aqing urged him a couple of times.
Wu An didn't linger any longer and arrived at the beach, where it was packed with people.
There's so much seafood on the beach that you don't even need to dig; just reach out and pick it up.
There were shrimp, crabs, fish, sea snails, and quite a few octopuses. Many children chased after the octopuses and had a great time.
Wu An didn't linger; he led A Qing and his elder brother straight to the mudflats.
Aqing asked, "Are we going to catch blue crabs and crab tigers?"
Wu An casually replied, "Either is fine."
"Let's go a bit further this time."
"Arrest whatever you encounter."
Tomorrow is the holiday, wouldn't it be wonderful to have some seafood that I caught myself?
There were quite a few people on the mudflats, and when they saw Wu An and A Qing, they all followed.
Aqing was a little annoyed to see so many people following her.
Wu An walked at the front; they were all from the same village, so they could follow if they wanted.
He might have cared about it before, but not anymore, after all, he is also a second-generation villager.
One must have a broad perspective.
Furthermore, without the blessing of luck, these people's gains would be very limited.
The villagers who followed greeted him warmly, and as Wu An walked away, some of them whispered and teased Wu Ping.
They say Wu Ping is a teacher at school, but in this mudflat, they can be Wu Ping's teachers.
Tell Wu Ping not to be shy and to ask him anything he doesn't understand.
Wu Ping gave an awkward smile; he couldn't very well get angry when the other person was joking.
After walking about two kilometers further in, the number of people decreased significantly, with only four or five people still following.
Wu An casually pointed and said, "Okay, let's dig around here."
At first glance.
There are quite a few holes.
Some are big, some are small.
Wu An scratched his head: "An, how do we dig this?"
